Chapter 376
Anastasia understood Salma and Monica’s reservations, but she couldn’t just act oblivious in the face of information about her child.
Anastasia pressed her lips together and said, “I’ll go check it out first and make sure she’s my daughter before making any long-term decisions. Of course, if I do bring back a child, I’ll have to discuss it with the Salstroms first. I won’t act impulsively.” She now had to consider Herman’s feelings in every decision she made. Anastasia felt indebted to Herman, who had always stood by her, even when Grannie Anita was being difficult. She couldn’t possibly hurt him just like that.
Salma and Monica felt relieved hearing Anastasia’s words. They were just worried that Anastasia might bring a child home suddenly, which might upset the Salstroms.
Monica said, “I’ll drive you there.”
An hour later.
South Mountain Orphanage.
The director, Anthony, was a kind-hearted man in his fifties and was loved by all the children.
Upon arriving at the orphanage, Anastasia explained her purpose, and Anthony handed her a file with a child’s information. “Ms. Jewell, take a look. We adopted this child four years ago, and it fits the description you gave,” Anthony explained. “She was brought here by a man who found her while collecting scrap. He intended to raise her himself, but perhaps found it too difficult and brought her to us instead.”
Anastasia listened while flipping through the file.
The file contained a photo of the child at four and a half years old. She looked quite different from the newborn in the photo Salma had shown her. The child in the picture had beautiful dimples, just like her own.
Monica was also looking at the photo, remarking, “She does have similar eyes.”
Hearing Monica’s words, Anastasia felt more confident.
“Anthony, where is the child now?” Anastasia asked urgently. “Can I meet her?”
Anthony handed her another file. “This is the address of the foster parents who adopted her.”
